Welcome to my channel!
If you like motorcycle adventure mixed with vlogging, you came to the right place!
I will be showing you the beauty of this planet from a different angle, the one of a motorcycle rider with a GoPro camera.
I started the channel a little too late, as I started only to properly document the ride from Pakistan Onwards (at least for KZbin purpose) but I will be posting new videos on a regular basis, at least twice a week.

In France snow never melts because it is already at Northern latitudes. Earth is naturally very cold there. But India is more nearer to equator so on average it is warmer. Here it is permanently cold only due to high altitude...otherwise there won't be any snowfall

[@germany3974]

I agree with you on Subcontinental weather and conditions however statement about permanent snow in France isn't correct. Firstly it does gets hot in most parts of France during summer times and usually Temps touch 35°c easily, on the other hand in winters arctic vertex grip entire European countries due to which wind Temps usually are below 5°c in sunny days. Interestingly though it does not snow in entire France even during winters but in the northern parts and specially Alps and Pyrenees mountain range.

[@tubro541]

Ladakh and Tibet are deserts, as as the hot air / winds flow towards the Northeast, it/they have to flow over mountains, thus the air cools as it goes over higher elevations, and has to dump its moisture. Cold air does not contain as much moisture as hot air. By the time the air makes it to Ladakh and Tibet, it is pretty dry, as it has already dumped most of its moisture in the mountains on the way to Ladakh and Tibet. Thus the lack of snow.

[@prabalsinghrajput6597]

If there is no himalaya then there would be snowfall over most of the india. Himalaya protect us from most of cold siberian winds. Otherwise except coastal areas, most of the india would have looked like central Asia. And there would have been no mansoon climate and less rainfall due to lack of barrier.

[@rajannegi8883]

I meet french guy from nice who came to promote (sell) fertilizers in Himachal. He was so thrilled to see snow capped mountains.......he said France have no such views. Also said people there have no idea that these things are in india

[@phuntyangchok]

Mr Girish there is no snow because of lots of traffic n pollution n khardongla is our water source of leh n because of cafe n tourist it's getting dirty. And khardongla is sacred for ladakhi and it's very bad omen to shit n throw garbage there. Before that movie 3 idiots there used to be snow at all the peaks of khardongla 12 months.

[@vaas4403]

They issue permits to keep a track of tourists that how many successful traversed the region. There have been cases of fatalities especially in snowfall conditions and administration getting informed after a day or two. If they tally the permits they will come to know if someone is missing or fallen into a gorge.

[@Kenkalsi]

Waiting for some Pakistani Biker/bikers show us POK/ GB in detailed tour, who can show us pakistani villages, villagers life, roads, electricity, schools,colleges, universities, hospitals and tourist places/ hotels. Mean a thorough tour of POK/GB as There are thousands of videos of Indian Kashmir/ Ladakh but only few random videos of Pak Occupied Kashmir. Rumours are that Occpied Kashmiris dont speak kashmiri and are living in poverty with no schools hospitals and electricity but I dont beleive that until some Pak Occupied series shows us reality. I dont think Mirpuris are Kashmiris as they speak Punjabi so dont include Mirpur in series if anyone can do that.

[@kumar561]

@@kumar561 no, i seen it all. He never talked any politics. He never visited villages and show us life of a villager. He only showed us ppl on tourist spots who are always from very rich class. A poor Indian cannot do tour of Kashmir: Ladakh and we know thar only rich Indians do tour and they are not real India. We have more hungry kids than whole of Africa but in Ladakh ppl are driving 20-30 bikes n 2-3 crore cars.

[@bill9383]

What did u say to him? I'm curious😆

[@mountaingods1917]

Lower the latitude (towards equator), higher is the snow line altitude. Actually the solar insolation is highest at the tropic of Cancer/Capricorn and not at the equator due to earth's tilt. To the west/south-west of Ladakh(trans-himalaya) you have the greater Himalayas which blocks snow/rain clouds. That's why Ladakh, spiti and Tibet are dry because they are beyond the greater Himalayas. If I am not wrong Ladakh gets most of the precipitation in winter in the form of snow due to the western disturbance which brings in moisture from the Mediterranean, black and Caspian seas. Interestingly, Ladakh has 2 mountain ranges, Himalayas and Karakoram. Karakoram is in the northern part of Ladakh.

[@spade5752]

Hey Pierre! Glad you're doing fine. The reason behind snow in Europe on lower altitudes is because of our extreme latitudes, that even if its 3000m, we can witness same weather like 4000m in lower latitudes. Latitude and altitude works concordant.

[@deepanshu5707]

yeah india is near equator that's why it's generally hot and tropical in lower part of india

[@alani3992]

Kilimanjaro has snow at Equator, at even lower 15k ft. Its about being dry weather in Ladakh.

[@spade5752]

@@alani3992 Kilimanjaro stands at 5,895m, which equals to 19k feet, get your facts checked mate. And the topic is about prolonged snowline in even lower altitudes of Europe when comparing to higher altitudes of any Southern countries, it's because of higher latitude, no one is talking about topography of the place, it's more about geography.

[@alani3992]

@@spade5752 Talking about snowline of Kilimajaro at 15K, not the summit. So your arguments are in-correct about Ladakh.

[@spade5752]

@@alani3992 you didn't get the point mate. My conversation is revolving around the statement Pierre made about how mountain ranges in Europe retain snow for a longer period even being at lower altitudes than Himalyas. We are not talking about just settled snow here, but their prolonged nature in certain regions of the world, ofcourse we can see extreme sun there and it's a dry desert, but don't you see the snow in front when he is riding the bike towards pass? It's because of higher altitude breaching through the troposphere and being on the leeward side of the sun. Kilimanjaro even being near to the equator breaches the troposphere line, where temperature is extremely freezing, helping it to accumulate snow even when it should not. Now, that wasn't even the topic of concern, it was all about why northern region retains snow for longer period or whole year even if it has lesser altitude,i hope you get more clarity now, I never talked about Ladakh. The phenomenon you're talking about is regional for Ladakh, latitudes and altitudes are global.

Well, the rains will be a big trouble once you'll get back to the lower Himalayas! Up in Ladakh, everything is dry and clear. Actually, most of the clouds precipitates near lower green mountains keeping Ladakh dry and rocky.

France is at higher latitude. Ladakh is dry in summers especially and its not as high on the latitude as European nations like france.. but u would see a lot of snow at same height in kashmir coz its more green and its humid

[@tajbarsinghnegi6641]

As you are in trans Himalayas i.e. beyond Himalayas, all the air moisture carried by monsoon winds is actually blocked by Himalayas thus trans Himalaya is actually dry region.

Ladakh and Tibet are deserts, as as the hot air / winds flow towards the Northeast, it/they have to flow over mountains, thus the air cools as it goes over higher elevations, and has to dump its moisture. Cold air does not contain as much moisture as hot air. By the time the air makes it to Ladakh and Tibet, it is pretty dry, as it has already dumped most of its moisture in the mountains on the way to Ladakh and Tibet. Thus the lack of moisture, water & snow.
